Thortspace is 3D visual thinking software for brainstorming, project management, problem solving, collaborative research, education, and presentations. It lets users arrange ideas called thorts and groups, then draw paths between them or connect spheres into networks. Pictures, text, and web links can be brought in from other applications. Do Mode turns insights into action plans, while Present Mode shapes them into presentations. The app supports real-time collaboration, offline use, and AI assistance across web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Spheres stored locally can be used without an account. Free accounts are limited to public spheres, and syncing and collaboration are limited to a number of public spheres; published spheres include ads. Premium includes internet picture search and full-text sphere search. The free plan costs 0.00 USD per free license. Content Reader is 4.99 USD per month after a 7-day free trial, Premium is 14.99 USD per month with a 14-day free trial, and Business is 15.00 USD per month. The maker is based in London and Dorset, United Kingdom.
